Bicycles create less parking problems. They do not use valuable fuels They do not pollute the environment Bicycling is a healthy lifestyle

Motorists tend to forget that a bicycle is a "legal" road vehicle with the same rights & responsibilities as cardrivers and motorbike riders. If a cyclist is forced to the edge there are added dangers due to broken glass,rubbish,loose edges and drainage grates. Give cyclists plenty of room as they

may have to swerve suddenly to avoid a pothole or other road hazard. Leave at least 1 metre clearance,when turning left or right,indicate early to allow the rider to ride ahead safely.

Look out for cyclists before you open your cardoor - it is your fault if your

cardoor hits a cyclist.Same applies when pulling out from the kerb.

ADVICE TO CYCLISTS: be aware of motorist's blind spots,around the sides and back of the car.
